Nice detective work Steve.How do you ever find good info like that?
Dave, are these 20 amp recepticles? Would it be okay to change from a 15 amp recepticle.?
Talk about confusion of what "Specification Grade" means.I found this post on a electrician's forum some time ago.***************************RECEPTACLE GRADESI believe it's;1.) Heavy Duty Industrial Spec Grade2.) Industrial Spec Grade3.) Spec Grade CommercialAnd then Hospital Grade is kinda by itself due to grip tightness, probable equal to spec grade commercial.----------------Some brands have a "specification" grade. For others, look for "commercial" or "industrial"
Remember that you can only use 20 Amp receptacles in 20 Amp circuits.With a 15 Amp circuit, that's a no-no.But internally a 15 Amp and a 20 Amp receptacle are the same thing.
